Destination introduction
Located on the southern tip of Sri Lanka, the port of Galle is a historic fortress city steeped in old colonial atmosphere. Sri Lanka’s fourth largest town, it was the island’s main port until the late 1800s and boasts an amazing fort where you can admire Dutch colonial architecture.
Laze on the beautiful beach, haggle for local handicrafts at the bazaar-style market and look out for the area’s famous stilted fishermen, perched on poles as they cast their lines along the coastline.
